WHERE DO THE POETS AND WRITERS HANG OUT?
Where do all the poets and writers go to unwind? Back in the 1990's they had THE MILLENIUM CAFE which was run by an artist named Noe Hinojosa. It was originally located at 1514-B Beech Street near a small park, an ice house, and the downtown area to the south of it over the railroad tracks and across Business 83. THIS was in the huge metropolis of McAllen.
Now where do they hang out? In an alley near the library? At the new Art Center down from the library...to the north of it?
It seemed more fun and magical at the old Millennium.
The lovely complex feels like a museum.

HEALTHCARE REFORM!
The huge smile on Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's face said it all. The Democrats passed a bill through with a score of 219 to 212. The overhaul of the country's healthcare system took a shot of momentum with all 178 Republicans saying NAY as well as 34 Democrats who said NO in their vote.
The bill rockets to President Obama's desk to be signed into law.
The floor of the House of Representatives must have had coffee and tea spilled all over. The Tea Party swayed in its conservative ire and opposition to healthcare reform. The Coffee Party which is the opposite of the tea baggers rejoiced in its victory. Symbolically tea and coffee spillage.
Republicans had vowed to "go after" all politicians who supported the measure. Now, the nasty plots twist. All Democrats are fair game in the political season.
We will soon see if this law actually helps the regular American.
We hope that it does.

RUSH LIMBAUGH IN SPANISH?
Rush Limbaugh supposedly said that if the Obama Administration got its way and reformed health care in the United States he would move to COSTA RICA. REALLY? Or will Limbaugh pull an Alec Baldwin and NOT follow through on his "threat" to move out of the country?
Remember Baldwin said he would move if George W. Bush was elected president of the United States?
If Limbaugh moves to Costa Rica will he eventually broadcast from there in English and then in Spanish?
Hmmm...puede ser...could be.

CHARLIE RANKIN IS LEAVING THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY
Charlie Rankin bought KURV AM 710 in Edinburg, Texas back in 1984. Mr. Rankin is leaving the Rio Grande Valley this year. The long time broadcaster sold the station to millionaire Tony Sanchez some years ago. Sanchez sold the station after a brief run. Ah, millionaires and their toys!
Rankin does not care for the many changes the station went through.
When he ran the show he ran it as an independent media entity. His familiar voice will be missed.
Davis Rankin is his son. Davis had a morning radio talk show for many years on KURV. His contract was not renewed.
Sergio Sanchez is the anchor that keeps the ship afloat. For how long? Serg has a Saturday morning talk show/rant. The show seems low budget and easy to follow. The format: Serg ranting/wailing/whining like a hybrid of Rush Limbaugh/Sean Hannity. It is ok..if you like that kind of show.
KURV has Coast To Coast AM with George Nouri from Midnight to Five AM! The 4:00 am to 5:00 AM hour is the first hour as a rerun. Excellent show! It covers conspiracy theories, the supernatural, and UFO's. Anything that falls within that subject matter is just interesting!
Check out the 11 pm to Midnight Coast To Coast Rebroadcasts!
You can also check out Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity. Check out their website for show times!
Happy Trails to Charlie Rankin!

ROAD LUST
IT'S MY BIRTHDAY AND I CAN BE CREEPED OUT IF I WANT TO....This falls under yikes!
Read on...read on.
On my way to work on my birthday this morning we encountered a woman in her late 20's to mid-30s driving a white SUV on McColl Road. She had her car stereo on louder than you know what! She came up close to us and started making obscene gestures. You get the picture with the title of this blog.
The red light at McColl and Dove was longer than usual. Road Luster continued with her pornographic pantomime. I got really nervous. One never knows these days. What if she had a gun? What if "she" was a he? Perish the thought. The light turned green after half an eternity. Off we went.
As we checked our rearview and side mirrors we noticed that Road Luster had a bead on a long red truck. Chevy. The same old sales pitch. As we approached Violet Red Truck Dude had had enough. Sex sells..but no one was buying?
We caught a red light at McColl and Nolana. We had to turn left and head for work. Road Luster got into the left turn lane with us. Gulp!
The plan was set in motion: I was to grab my junk...er...work material and hustle into the office. I did that as Road Luster hovered to the side of our vehicle patiently waiting for our vehicle's next move. My ride headed west on Nolana with a tail on him.
Later I called my ride and was told that he was followed all the way to Barnes And Noble. Remember the old Royal China restaurant? A McAllen Police car was parked in there. Safety valve. Took it. Rolled into that parking lot. Road Luster continued west on Nolana.
Yikes!
Give me a pair of socks for my birthday!
BE CAREFUL OUT THERE!

CONGRESSMAN RUBEN HINOJOSA POLISHES OFF THE PEARL...
DEMOCRATIC incumbent Congressman Ruben Hinojosa defeated Doug "La Perla"(The Pearl)Purl March 2, 2010 in the Democratic Primary. Purl seemed shocked that Hinojosa won by a huge margin. Purl had met a lot of folks who wanted change in Washington DC.
Not enough wanted change it appears.
Hinojosa will wait to see who is Republican challenger is November 2nd in the general election.
District 15 has had Hinojosa as its Congressman since 1996. Will he continue at his post?
VOTE! VOTE! EDUCATE THE ELECTORATE! ORGANIZE! VOTE!

LIVE!
GO OUT THERE AND LIVE! I met a man yesterday who was on his way to the UPS hub in McAllen. He had purpose in his eye and a strong faith in GOD in his heart.
He had to find a job to provide for his family. A knight without a horse is still a knight as long as he has fight in his soul. It is when we surrender that we truly lose.
It is rough. There is no denying that. I should know. I spent 6 months jobless once.
Way before the economy went Deep South. Way back in the last century. I can only imagine what a jobseeker goes through in today's brave new world!
Armor On!

PARENTS
Life on the freeway? Life on a calm and sunny country road? Pick one. Even if you live at break neck speed make time for your parents if you are fortunate to still have them with you!
Don't fall prey to regret as in "If only I had come to visit more" after one of your parents passes away. An hour with them will not kill you! Career matters but did career sit with you all night as you ran a fever or did career sacrifice working at a back breaking job for your family? How many times could your parental units have just spent on something nice for them and denied themselves in order for you to be fed and clothed?
Don't regret. Visit your parents. Spend one hour at least! It is a spiritual crime to neglect the souls that brought you into this existence! It is a sin. Think of what you are teaching your kids.

VIVA ITALIA!
SUCH a lovely day here in the RGV! Blue skies and gentle breeze weather. Remember the old adage about not judging a book by its cover?
One need heed its wisdom.
Case in point: I had occasion to speak with a nice elderly lady of Hispanic background. With a name like Gomez or Trevino it would be a safe bet, right? I met a nice elderly lady today with the last name of Trevino.
She had a nice round gold and silver medallion. I asked her what it was. I thought it was religious in nature. She informed me that it was an Italian coin and that 2 of her sisters had a medallion like hers.
She travels to Italy when she can. It turns out her grandfather is Italian. He came over from the old country on a boat.
She has relatives in Italia and stays with them in their hotel that they inherited from their father.
She recommends Garda Lake.
Funny what you can learn from a simple conversation.
